Spiced Soured Cream Cupcakes

It has been a while since I've made any cupcakes. I've some leftover sour cream from my Choc Guinness Cake and I need to use it up. So I scour thru my recipe books looking for one that uses sour cream. I found quite a number but I did not have enough sour cream then I saw this Spiced Soured Cream Cupcakes recipe in my fave 500 Cupcakes & Muffins.

As usual, I modified along the way as when I measure out the sour cream, there isn't enough so I top up with some plain yoghurt to make up the amount. I've also replaced pecans with pistachios since I don't have any in my fridge and instead of sultanas, I've sub them with mixed fruits soaked in brandy that I have ever ready in my fridge.

I took a double take when I was reading this recipe as the recipe does not contain any oil nor butter! Sounds rather healthy eh? Hence, the texture of course is NOT cake like but more like steamed cake. It's dense and not fluffy. If you like moist fluffy cake-like texture, this is not your kinda cupcakes. Capt'n Hook didn't like this at all but I liked it as my breakie after a short 30 secs in the microwave. Perhaps it could be better with the recommended cream cheese icing but I didn't make any as I preferred mine plain.
